Minoxidil / Rogaine / Regaine
Minoxidil (Rogaine or Regaine) was one of the first drugs to be approved for hair regrowth. Originally designed as a treatment for high blood pressure, it was soon discovered that it had the side effect of hair regrowth and reversing baldness. Today it has become a popular treatment for baldness prevention. Nobody fully understands why or how Minoxidil helps promote hair regrowth, simply that it does.
Results:
Minoxidil (rogaine or regaine) is most effective in younger men (18-41years of age) with recent hair loss in the region of the crown or vertex of the scalp. Minoxidil is largely ineffective in the frontal area of the scalp (where most people suffer hair loss) and where there is a high degree of hair loss.
Hair regrowth occurs in approximately 85% of recipients. However, the degree of hair regrowth varies widely. One new hair can constitute regrowth – but that would hardly be acceptable to most people. Clinical data suggests that the number of people who experience significant hair regrowth is small. New hair regrowth can take up 4-6 months and only after 9-12 months of consistent use can one can determine if Minoxidil is working for you. If you stop using the product, you will quickly begin to lose any new hair growth and hair that was prevented from falling out.
